From Sterling Kansas.

Clay Alcorn, an ex-devil of this Office,
writes under date of April Is, from Ster-
ling. Kansas, requesting us to send him
the HERALD, and says Il arrived here
last Wednesday night. i like it first
rate. The land around here is all prai-
RE, and seems to be fine farming coun-
try. The farmers have all their seeding
done, and in some places corn is up.
Peach and pear trees are all in bloom
and the flowers are all out 1t looks
considerably nicer than the two foot of
snow that / left back in Wisconsin.
Sterling is about the size of Lancaster,
and publishes one daily (and good one,
too) and three weekly newspapers. Ly-
ons. place of 260O inhabitants about
ten miles north of Sterling, publishes two
dailies and three weeklies. "
He says that he would like to describe
his trip and tell whdt he thinks Of Ms
souri,, but pleads lack of time and says
he is not very ''fly with the quill. -
Perhaps he thought if he told exactly
what he thought Of Missouri, it would
not be carried through the mails.
We are always glad to hear from old
typos especially to hear of their prosper
ity. Write again.

American Criticism.

American critics have the reputation
of being more kind-hcarted than dis
eliminating. The struggling young au-
thor, unless overweeningly foolish has
little to fear from their hands; and, if
his reputation be once fairly establish
ed, all he chooses To write is received
with gratitude which secrls excessive
to the more exactiug readers of France
and England. If he be humorist, we
are always alert and straining to see
the fun; il story-teller, we politely
smother our yswns, and say something
about keen analysis of character, a
marked originality of treatment, or a
purely unconventional theme; if a
scholar, no pitfalls are dug for his I'M
wary feet by reviewers like Mr.. Col
Inns. Such virulent and personal at
tacks we consider very uncomfortable
reading, as in truth they are, and we
have small appetite at any time for
sound kernel beneath bitter rind.
Yet surely iii these days, when young
students turn impatiently from the
very fountain-heads of learning, too
much stress cannot be laid on the con-
tinuity of literature, and on the abso-
lutte Importance of the classics to those
who would intelligently explore the
treasure-house of English verse. More
over, MIR. Collins has aimed few we'll
directed shafts against the ingenious
system of mutual admiration, by which
little coteric of writers, modern Della
Cruscans, help each other into promin-
ence, while an unsuspecting public is
made 1.-THE willing dupe of buffers"
This delicate game, which is now con-
Quoted with such well-rewarded skill by
few enterprising players, consists.
not so much in open tiattery, though
there is plenty of that too, as in the
minute chronicling of every insignifi-
cant circumstance of each others daily
lives, from the hour at which they
breakfast to the amount of exercise they
find conducive to appetite, and the
shape and size of their dining-room
tables. We are stifled by the literary
gossip which fills the newspapers and
periodicals. n Nothing is too trivial,
nothing too irrelevant, to be told; and
when, in the midst of an article on any
subject, from grand-dukes to gypsies,
a writer gravely stops to explain that
perfectly yalucless remark was made
to him on such an occasion by his
friend such one, whose interesting
papers on such topic will be well re-
membered by the readers of such a
magazine, we are forcibly reminded of
the late Master of Tnnity's sarcasm as
to the many things that are too unim-
portant to be forgotten. Agnes Rep

Meat for Babes.

1.-THE following satirical parody from
the New York Sun is good hit at the
present system of craming the pupils
in our public schools
stun the school children; fill up the heads of
them;
Send them all lesson-fnll home to the beds of
Blackboard and exercise, problem and ques.
Bother their young brains and spolltheir diges-
STUFF them with ologies, all they can smatter at !;
Fill them with ometries, all they can batter at /;
Crowd them with 'onomies, all they can chatter
When they are through with the labor and show
Of 1t.
What do they care for it. what do they know
of it?
Feed them and cram them with all sorts of
knowledges;
Rush them and push them through high schools
Keep the hot kettle on, boiling and frothing:
Marks count for everything, death counts for
nothing
Rush them and push them while they've the viii
for il;
knowledge is great, though many you kill for it
Pile on the taxes to pay you the bill for it;
Urge them aud press them to higher ambi-
Heed not their minds or their bodies condi-
tions
Stick TO the system you long have been cherish
ing,
Careless Of those who are fading and perishing
Strong meat for babes Is the ages last motto
Drop the weak souls who can't learn as they
ought to;
Feed them and fill them, no endto the worrying
Push them and press them, no stop to the hurry

Parents at home will attend to he burying;
Strong meat for babes is the motto Of prog
ress;
knowledge hend is, ambition an ogre.s.

Red Lion.

correspondent has written a letter
to the HERALD concerning the town of
Red Lion, Colorado, which he enthusi-
astically calls .'the future great city, of
Northeastern Colorado. He describes
the town ard its surroundings as fol-
lows:
''Red Lion is picturesquely situated
on the north bank of the south Platte
river and about the center of eastern
WEIGH county, one hundred and seventy
eight miles northeast of Denver City
and twenty miles southwest of Denver
Junction, Colorado. The Red Lion
Town Site Company have placed their
lots upon the market and inducements
are offered to those who build on their
lots within six months. The company
owns sufficient ground for a town of
10000 inhabitants, and it is to their in-
terest to build up the town as rapidly as
possible. They offer special induce
ments to manufacturers. The company
own within the town site one of the
best mill powers in Colorado. The
town is surrounded. by fine farming
country. The Union Pacific railroad
runs directly through the town. WEIGH
county, Colorado, IS region of fertile
valleys and rich table lands. well
watered and richly productive. 1t is in
the very heart of our great country,
gridironed by railroads and telegraphs,
having direct communication with all
parts of the world. and not like most
new countries out 10 the wilderness. far
from railroad communication. The
soil being rich and mellow, but little
machinery is required, and that of the
simplest and least expensive kind 1t
Is eminently the ''poor mans SOIL" 1t
has inexhaustible stone quarries, and is
one of the finest stock-raising countries
in the world. Old and experienced
stockmen and farmers, who have been
there to look for location, have been
astonished that such country is yet
undeveloped. The only reason this
country with such resources has not
been developed is simply because the
Union Pacific land grant was located on
each side of their main line, and their
land was so extensively advertised that
settlers going with the boom followed
the main line, as they could get govern
ment land there at that time. Until
few months ago very few claims were
taken in this part of the valley. and
now only few tree claims are left near
the railroad. sss3~
WEIGH county is as large as the whole
state of Massachusetts, and in a short
time will be divided into three counties.
In such case Red Lion will be nearly in
the geographical center of the eastern
county. and without opposition will be
made the county seat.
Any who may be interested and wish
further information may address,

The Richest American Actress.

Lolita owns in her own name and
without membranes the Park Thea
ter in Boston and the International
Hotel property in front of that place of
amusement. For this she paid $780,
900 in cool cash in addition to $25, 900
that she paid Henry E. Abbey for the
movable property it contained, such
as scenery, furniture, carpets, ETC.,
opera chairs and gas-fxtures. The
theater is said to be the best stocked
in this country. There are over twelve
complete sets of stage furniture, ono
costing $500, another $500, another
$3.50 and so on.
In addition to the scenery in the
theater, over forty complete sets were
found stored in an outside warehouse.
ALI these properties" were estimated
to be worth not less that $4,000, so
that prudential Miss Lolita and her ma,
with the wary financial eye, were not
driving n bad bargain. In addition to
this Lolita has 100000 invested in diff
ferent manufactures and dwelling
houses in New York and Harlem. She
has one house and lot covering nearly
square and originally costing 800, 900.
She has a house and property on Sta
ten Island, and in Akron, Chicago.
Kansas City and San Francisco. And
to all this tine 800, 900 worth of jewel

Blind Boone.

A musical entertainment will be given
at the M. T.. church in this city Friday
evening, April 30, which, judging from
the notices of the press in places where
It has has been given, will be a rare
treat. The principal attraction is Blind
Boone, colored boy who like the fam
Gus Blind Tom has the wonderful faculty
of reproducing the most difficult music
upon the piano. Among their testimon-
falls are number from people who have
heard both these prodigies, and they
pronounce Boone superior to Tom.
Boone plays the music of List. Chopin
and Beethoven as well as popular airs
with variations.
Stella, a colored girl only II years old
furnishes the vocal part of the entertain
ment.

Dakota.

The following letter bearing date of
April 8, was received last week at a
time when we were rushed or we should
have given it space then. 1t will be of
interest to all old acquaintance of the
writer, especially to those interested in
Dakota, its weather, state of trade,
freight rates, etc:
EDITOR HERALD: noticed in the
last issue of the semi-weekly that Lam
caster merchants are finding fault with
the present freight rates, constituted by
the Interstate commerce bill. I will say
in regard to same that our merchants
and business men have been somewhat
benefited as our freight rates have been
considerably reduced, that is our local
freights. l understand that carload
rates will remain about the same as
before.
We are having pleasant weather at
present and the farmers will have all
their wheat sown this week. This
seemingly is what one might call July
day. AT 2 p. m. to-day the mercury
stood at 960 in the sun; no fires needed
in offices or stores to-day. Business is
somewhat dull at present, but this is no
unusual complaint among business men
at this time of the season, as It is al
WAYS dull when farmers are busy seed
ing. Yours truly, mtg.

He also sends the following, clipped
from the Mount Vernon Gazette. of
April 9TH:

of lambs. The first was so extremely
warm that Leo Baumgartner took it for

A NEEDED IMPROVEMENT. w. Bar
low, who is always interested in inn
provements of the city, particularly those
relating to our cemetery, started SUBJ
cription paper the other day to raise
money to build sidewalk out to the
cemetery. He met with no success, the
general opinion being that the walk
should be built by the city SO that the
expense should be evenly borne.
The only objections raised to this lat
ter plan are that the city is already
burdened with the McLimans debt, and
that new and increased liabilities would
thus be created. So far as that is con-
cerned our city charter now, under re-
cent act of the legislature, protects us
from repetition of the McLimans
abomination. The walk should be
built If it cannot be all built at once
it should be commenced. A petition
will soon be presented to the city coun-
ell to begin the building of the walk
at the city's expense.

RUNAWAY. - Wednesday afternoon
about four o'clock pair of horses be-
longing to John Wonderful took fright
while standing in front of Ivey & Webb's
store and ran away Mr.. Wonderlin,
who resides on Platte and about three
miles east Of the Rock school house.
Lad Just finished his trading and was
standing on the sidewalk with the lines
in one hand, the horses headed toward
the west. He was about to help his
sister into the buggy when the movable
sign that stands in front of DR.. Barber's
drug store bearing the inscription,
Only 1000 rolls of wall paper left'
blew over and frightened the team, one
of which is young colt. Ths horses
wheeled around carrying their owner
with them as far as The railing on the
opposite side OF tho street. where thew
got loose and went like mad down street.
They caromed from John Jeide's house
to Tom Willey's and brought up in Mrs.
Sweeney's pasture. the barb-wire fence
OF which, thanks TO rotten posts, let
them through with slight scratches.
Dave Birch had the honor to catch
them after they had fallen dow O. l. is
most fortunate that they ran be fore the
lady had gotten in, and that thew came
OF with no greater injury.
